Nowhere City
“The sun poured against the walls and then flowed back, leaving a cube of pale shadow inside. In the bedroom the sheets and blankets had been pulled off on to the floor at the foot of the bed, a heap of darker shadows.

“I like the way you still like me afterwards. You know some men are great beforehand: they love to lie around and kiss and make out; b...ut as soon as it’s over they don’t even want to touch you. They get up right away and wipe themselves off like they’d been to the bathroom. I figure they really hate women.”
Paul made an indistinct noise in reply. He felt uneasy here, though he was almost certain that Katherine would not come home. (But suppose she suddenly got sick at work?) Maybe they should have gone to a motel and asked for a room (at nine A.M.?). But he didn’t like the idea of love in a motel; and here was a whole house standing empty, after all.MoreLess
